RISO: a world leader in global print solutions servicing 190 countries and regions
Founded in Japan and listed in the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, RISO has developed a strong global reputation for its products and customer service.
For over 30 years, our reputation in the United Kingdom has also flourished. We offer high-quality UK print solutions, including printers, MFDs, and Risographs/duplicators at competitive prices. We take the time to analyse your needs and match the right print solutions to your unique specifications.
From creators of the revolutionary Risograph to pioneers of high-speed inkjet
Founded in 1946, RISO started as an ink manufacturer, but the launch of the Risograph in the 1980s solidified our status as a leading global print solutions provider. Our unparalleled technical knowledge continues to drive innovation across the UK print market.
RISO is now home to the world’s fastest A4 full-colour inkjet printer, and a high-speed (165ppm) A4 cut sheet inkjet production printer with the smallest footprint on the market. We’ve developed decades of experience working across a complete spectrum of markets in the UK, including production print, education, charities, political parties, offices, religious institutions and other commercial sectors. The key to our success is understanding the challenges you face and delivering high quality, cost-effective solutions to help you maximise performance and achieve your goals.
We are proud to celebrate RISO KAGAKU CORPORATION‘s 80th anniversary this year!
We’re pleased to celebrate winning four awards at the 2025 PRINT IT Awards! It’s a testament to the hard work of our entire team over the past year!
Research and innovation is at the heart of all we do
With our extensive range of models, we’re able to provide the fastest, low cost per colour page printing solution for businesses of all sizes. Our unique FORCEJET™ inkjet technology utilises an imaging system that requires no heat fusing during the printing process. With a simple paper path, every model is incredibly efficient and reliable, whilst our printers can also be enhanced with timesaving innovative features, such as stapling, booklet making, hole-punching, binding and envelope printing.
All of RISO’s printers are environmentally friendly and emit no ozone, silica dust or toner particles, so no special compensatory cooling or ventilation is required and our machines are also extremely power efficient. As a pioneer and continuous innovator in ink-based print systems, RISO currently owns over 1,600 global patents that contribute to our printers’ unique productivity, versatility, and cost efficiency.

RISO Demonstration Vans
We understand the need to “try before you buy” and that’s exactly why we’ve developed a fleet of demonstration vans. Kitted out like fully functional showrooms, our vans deliver innovative printers to your door, allowing you to see a range of models in operation. In addition to providing free demonstrations we can also carry out free no obligation print audits, assessing your existing models, speeds, cost implications, space, volumes and daily usage. Our friendly team will then use this information to create a detailed performance report, offering advice on how you can improve performance, reduce costs and maximise return on investment.
